Comments: Otis came to Winter Animal Hospital thanks to a local kennel that raised pit bull terriers and felt that Dr. Winter needed the dog for protection at the hospital (thieves had been breaking into vets' offices to steal drugs).  Larry, the kennel's owner dropped off Otis for his puppy shots and checkup as he typically did for all of his new puppies.  When the staff called to let him know that Otis was ready to be picked-up, Larry informed them that he didn't have any puppies at the hospital.  Thus Otis had a new home and loving family!
